Visit the Legacy Remembers website to view the full obituary.
BUCKLEY, Scott D. Of Plymouth, passed away after battling a lengthy illness on November 19, 2020 at the age of 67. Born in Revere on October 24, 1953 to the late Marcus G. Buckley and Lucy (Movsesian). Beloved husband of Kay (Burruss). Cherished brother of Marcus and his wife Sue of Yarmouth Port, Bruce and his wife Debbie of N. Falmouth, and the late James Buckley. Dear brother-in-law to Kerry Burruss and his wife Donna of Overbrook, KS. Loving uncle of Sarah Rudolph and her husband Michael, Marcus C. Buckley and his wife Steffi, Adam Buckley and his wife Meghan, Audra Reynoso and her husband Tyson, and Rose Redington and her husband Luke. Adored great-uncle to Jacob, Charley, Aubree, Billy, Joe, and James. He is also survived by many loving cousins and friends. Scott graduated with honors from Harvard College and earned a Masters Degree in Public Health from the University of Missouri in Columbia. Graduate school brought Scott to the Midwest, but his career and ultimately meeting the love of his life kept him in Missouri and Kansas for most of his life, before retiring back in Massachusetts. Scott worked as a healthcare consultant for more than 30 years and formed two consulting firms, enjoying many years working alongside his wife. Scott was soft spoken, polite, and kind to all, so his contrasting dry sense of humor and sarcasm packed a surprising punch. He enjoyed crossword puzzles, music, reading and traveling with his wife, especially on the many cruises they took together. He was a great cook and baked delicious pies having grown up cooking with his father and brothers at the family restaurant, Buckley's. Scott suffered from kidney failure as a teenager and the complications of this condition for his entire adult life, but he approached life with an unparalleled optimism and toughness, and an admirable ability to persevere and enjoy each day.

I remember spending the night with cherry and Scott and I woke up hearing Scott singing "all of me." I thought I was in an Arthur Murray movie. I just found out of his passing and if you read this "bird" I'd love to hear from you. Living in Topeka, Colonial Park, last name Todd. So sorry. I lost my husband in 2020.

I deeply regret that I just learned of Scott's passing...I will miss his friendship and expertise. Having called on him many times in his professional capacity...always a gentleman and consummate professional. "The soul takes flight to the land that is invisible and there arriving...is assured of bliss." God speed my friend.
